For my third purchase at Brazil Carnival Shop, I requested a custom made bikini. Maria was great at understanding my vision and relaying it to the designer. The result was above and beyond my expectations. She was a wonderful liaison between me and the designer. I wouldn't have been able to do this on my own. I love my one of a kind costume.

I will recommend BrazilCarnivalShop to all of my friends! I'm really excited about my costume order. I special requests were easily handled and I'm looking forward to my unique costume based on a beautiful design!

I have just ordered samba shoes from he site (looking forward to receiving them). I was first in communication with Maria from the company who was extremely helpful in assisting me in getting the right shoes for me and offering advice for my narrow feet. Responses were always quick and it was great to hae someone there I could directly chat through issues with. Thanks for your help.

Brazil Carnival Shop exceeded my expectation! The costumes are well constructed, ornate, and most importantly.. AFFORDABLE! The communication was top notch with shipping within 2 business days. I'm pleased with my purchase ! I look forward to working with BCS in the future.

I have worked with brazilcarnivalshop.com for several years now and I can say that I love it!!! The owner, Maria Cristina, is very attentive, she has beautiful and quality costumes and gorgeous professional samba shoes. I am constantly recommending brazilcarnivalshop.com to my global in-studio and Online students of the sambadanceacademy.com and pro-dancers. She truly takes care of you as a dancer. This year I choose this shop to dress 40 plus group students in preparation for a Samba parade. They looked fabulous!!!! Also as the host of the online show about Samba lifestyle internationally ("Sexy Samba Soul Show") Maria Cristina was one my first choices to be a guest and interviewed due to her fashion background and great knowledge of Samba costumes. I truly recommend braziliancarnivalshop with all my heart! Five stars

Beautifully made samba shoes! I bought three pairs... two for me and one for a friend in different colours and styles. They arrived in two shipments and took around 1 & 2 months to arrive from Brazil to Australia (so plan ahead!) but it was well worth it. The online service was fantastic, emailing me to check my size was right and talking me through changes to get the shoes 100% accurate for me. The shoes were made to order (hence the long shipping) and fit beautifully. I feel like they're really sturdy with good ankle support for lots of samba dancing.

MeiSamba has been working with Brazil Carnival Shop for over two years and our experience has been incredible! Maria is so informative through the whole process from it's inception until the costume arrives and even after to check in to make sure everything is perfect. The costumes are gorgeous and outstanding quality. We look forward to many more experiences with Brazil Carnival Shop! (MeliSamba Austin, Texas)

I had such an amazing experience with Brazil Carnival Shop. Maria walked me through the measuring process for my very first custom made Brazilian Samba costume answering my many questions through emails and messenger in a timely manner. She had a lot of attention to detail and asked alot of questions to ensure I got the costume I really wanted. And when it arrived it was like a dream come true, exactly as I imagined. I appreciated how she kept me updated through the whole process as it was custom made and right through to shipping. It fit perfectly and was just as I imagined. Thank you Maria! I'll definitley be back for my next costume and I recommend to the other girls in my troupe

My new costume just came from Brazil and I absolutely love it! Maria has communicated and guided me through the process so well (measurements, shipping instructions etc.). I highly recommend Brazil Carnival Shop! Obrigada :)

Hi Roni. We never got a message from you regarding this message until this morning. Though you and I were communicating about your order since the 1st day you ordered. You probably did not ready the description of the shoes. It says it takes up to 20 business days to make the shoes. You ordered July 21. If we actually make them in 20 days if would be for the end of August. We will actually ship it next week. So please wait for our email with tracking. Next time feel free to contact us by phone, Facebook and Instagram. Maria Flynn

The services is excellent, very helpful. The shoes are light and good for samba (have only used them a limited time though). However, there are minor details which show a rather hasty finishing. The skin was scratched at several places, the glue is visible here and there and there is one nail that is sticking up. Overall, ok shoes but for the money I would want to see a bit more.

Hello Asia ! Thank you for your feedback. You and I talked about the shoes. We have two types of shoes that you are aware because you have purchased before. One is leather and the other non leather. The non leather has much more hand craftsmanship. There are small glue that is slightly rubbed off after the shoes are glued. and the nail that you mentioned I explained. It is not a nail. It’s a nail hole. They secure the shoes on the bottom to secure the platform with glue and nails. After 24 hrs the nail is removed and the “hole” is slightly apparent. I think you would definitely benefit from the leather shoes. They are more refined in craftsmanship. Thanks Assia.

I was referred to Brazil Carnaval Shop by my Samba dance instructor to get shoes for upcoming performance. I was delighted with Marias eagerness to find the perfect shoe for her customers! Obrigada!!!!

After losing one of my costumes leg pieces I ordered new arm and leg pieces with Brazil carnival shop. It was a straight forward experience that was followed up by a personal email exchange in which I was asked to give photos of my costume so they could make sure the sleeves would match the original costume as closely as possible. Very friendly and professional service; I can't wait to receive my arm ad leg pieces!

Hello, I am so sorry about the late reply. I never got a link to your question which is weird! So to reply to your message, our wire headframes takes up to 10 days to make and you choose the best shipping method. Either 9-12 business days or 23 days. Feel free to email me at info@brazilcarnivalshop.com
all the best,
Maria Flynn

About Us

Brazil Carnival Shop was developed by an increasing demand of the Brazilian Carnival and Samba lovers all over the world. We noticed a few years ago that the “Carnival like” festivities were happening not only in Brazil, but in many other countries around the globe. Today we find beautiful samba-school like London School of Samba in UK, Japan, Finland, United States, France, Germany and even in Africa! Carnival and Samba fans have specific attire and special needs that had to be taken care of. This became then our essential motivation. We are very well connected with the local Brazilian carnival suppliers that has a high reputation for quality and shipments on time. We are that bridge, between them and you. We are committed to taking your questions, emails, inboxes or calls with great care.

Every year we are adding new carnival designers from different coutries that understand well the look & feel of our customer. Brazil Carnival is getting global, and we are discovering these suppliers after years of search.

Before the development of the Brazil Carnival Shop, we built with great care the Brazil Carnival Ooah! website, which today is the largest website in the world devoted to the explanation of the Brazilian Carnival in English, made by Brazilians. With more than 300 pages, Brazil Carnival Ooah! website explains through texts, exclusive photos and a huge video gallery, basic and more sophisticated aspects of this wonderful festival, that enchants revelers all over the world. During this expansion, we had the pleasure of receiving literally hundreds of e-mails of samba lovers all over the world, thanking us for placing so much information, quality proof, in the name of a greater understanding of the Brazilian Carnival ( or Carnaval - in Portuguese ) culture.

Brazil Carnival Shop now arrives as a complimentary project. Here, customers are be able to find exclusive Carnival costumes, samba wear, authentic samba art, samba shoes created for samba dancers, as well as luxurious jewelry and accessories related to the carnival industry in Brazil.
